PBO file structure and packing method
Introduction
A pbo file originally meant 'packed bank of files'. Through use however, it has come to represent a single 'package' to achieve a result. Such as a mission, such as, an addon.text/html2024-07-31T12:52:52+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)rap

To help understand the contents of the file format, a brief idea of what animations are, is in order.
An animation takes a collection of p3d files (picture-3d files) and displays them all-at-once as a 'frame'.text/html2024-07-31T12:55:12+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)stringtable

Stringtables are used to make internationalization easier for the game itself, as well as addons, missions, scripts, etc.
Any messages and strings that are used in the game are kept separate from the code, and can therefor easily be edited and expanded.text/html2024-07-31T12:57:11+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)wrp

The terrain as seen in game are WRP files (world maps). The 'terrain' generally consist of an 'island', surrounded by sea texture. All official terrains are square areas 256 x 256 'cells'. Each 'cell' defines attributes of that part of the terrain in a fixed 50 meter square grid. Thus a 256 square terrain covers 12.8km squ…
